Game Boy

Mario's Picross is one of the Game Boy's most important cult puzzle games and the title that introduced Nintendo's Picross series to Western players.

Despite its quality and later cult status, it sold poorly enough outside Japan that its immediate sequels stayed Japan-exclusive for years. This NOE version is a nice regional piece, Nintendo's original German-market release of a game that would only be fully appreciated internationally much later. The Japanese original, Mario no Picross, is also in the collection.
